Heating the Hydrogen Fuel Cell
| Division: | Engineering & Computing Sciences | | Category: | Intermediate | | Region: | Greater Vancouver | | City: | Vancouver, BC | | School: | Sir Winston Churchill Secondary School | | Abstract: | By constructing a simple model of a hydrogen fuel cell with two platinum electrodes and sulphuric acid solution electrolyte, I investigated the effects of temperature on the reverse electrolysis effect, by heating (and also cooling) my model fuel cell. Unexpectedly, my results show increasing voltage outputs at lower temperatures. |
